Charts updated

I normally wait until April to update my charts, but Navionics had a 1/2 off sale until the end of February. So I updated all 3 of my charts online.



New stuff to save my back

Pot Puller installed and wired in.  This puller breaks down for easy storage and it has attachment that coils up the line in a nice neat pile. Great for putting 600 ft of leaded line in a cloths basket.

I also made an extension cord so I can use the puller on both sides of the boat.  This was the ONLY place I could mount the power receptacle (on the stern) that has access to the generator battery.

Now time to move on the the next project.  So many to choose from....

More Prep Work


I have five 30 amp shore power cords.  I cleaned them with a rag and some acetone.  Then I inspected the plugs for burnt ends.  Found 4 that were burnt and I replaced them.  All on separate cords.  If I have to replace both ends of the cord it would have been cheaper to buy a new cord.

Thanks to my friend John, I also applied dielectric to each end to help with corrosion.
